The jury session March 2011
Task
The theme “Embroidered Living Space Construction” brings together embroidery technology and the 3rd dimension. Within the field architecture we are for example constructing for both outside and inside space. Our view of contemporary cities is seen through industrial development- constructive, clear lines, clean- transparent design elements, using construction materials such as concrete, steel, and glass. But not only in architecture can industrial development be seen, but also in machinery advancements in the expanding world of technical decorative design. Whether in the automobile industry, medicine, or advertising: embroidered textiles are everywhere often in combination with printed textiles and 3D forms, which are examples of contemporary achievement.
We are expecting presentations and material studies that make a statement, innovative embroidery technology that is functional and implies repeatability. The work should be machine produced. The design aspect is in the forefront along with the innovative product point through a free choice of materials and technologies. New materials and prototypes are not restricted.

Rag Revolution!
Deadline: 15 October 2010 (RECEIVE)
Rag Revolution!
AUFSTAND! der nichtsnutzigen Textilien
Exhibition in workshop hannover e.v.
Hannover, Germany
11. March – 15. April 2011
Recycling fabric is the central theme of the exhibition entitled ‘Rag Revolution’ to be held in March 2011 by workshop hannover e.v. creativity centre. Textile artists and fine artists are invited to take part.
The use of everyday objects, found objects and recycled materials or more generally speaking the aesthetic disuse and reuse of objects, the study of cycles and recycling play a major role in the field of cultural and artistic productivity. Our exhibition focuses on how contemporary artists approach this topic using fabrics as a medium, a technique, as a material or metaphor.
The term ‘rag’ in the title of the exhibition conjures up the notion of uselessness and at the same time impertinence and misbehaviour. It is the ambivalence held therein of worthlessness and defiance, of passivity and activity that interests us, rags rehearsing revolution and threatening: We will be back. With a vengeance!
The exhibition, Rag Revolution, is to be held as part of the joint project ‘textour 2011’, organized by workshop hannover e.v. in collaboration with the Handwerksform Hannover (Crafts Forum Hanover), and other institutions in association with the ETN (Euroean Textile Network) and the journal ‘Textilforum’ (Textile Forum). It follows on from the successful concept of ‘textour 2008’ in which our exhibition ‘Tales in Fabric – the Fabric of Tales’ was flanked by further exhibitions and events.

Introduction

Who can Enter
This is a Competition open to anyone from anywhere in the world who is interested in design for embroidery. Entrants must be over 18 years of age. Entries must be submitted by an individual. No group entries allowed.
Brief
The underlying meaning of the Brief indicates that successful applicants will embrace the suggestion that the judges will be looking for innovation and a very contemporary feel to the designs submitted. It is worth remembering that for over 500 years The Worshipful Company of Broderers has championed the creation of embroidered artefacts which have reflected the spirit of the moment. In so doing they have encouraged and supported cutting edge and forward looking contemporary embroidery design, all the while maintaining the highest quality from design to completion.
Good design, though fashionable, will endure. The present Master and the Liverymen of the Broderers wish to mark this occasion with a new embroidered table-top lectern fall. The winning design will celebrate all that is meaningful, forward looking, innovative and creative and will reflect the best of textile thinking at the beginning of the 21st Century.
Research Material
Much of the Broderers` history was lost in the Great Fire of London of 1666 and more was lost in the Blitz of 1940 during the Second World War. Your design should be informed by your own research. You should begin by visiting the website of The Worshipful Company of Broderers on www.broderers.co.uk

Denali National Park, Alaska
2011 Program Season
Program Overview
The Denali Artist-In-Residence program was created in 2002 by the National Park Service and artist Kesler Woodward, who was the program’s first artist-in-residence. Since its inception, Kesler has served as the program’s advisor and on the selection committee.
Location
The Artist-In-Residence program at Denali National Park began in 2001, and offers professional artists the opportunity to pursue their work amidst the natural splendors of Denali Park. The park currently provides the use of the historic East Fork Cabin for ten-day periods from June through August. Other accommodations may be available in the future. No stipend is provided.

A panel of artists and National Park Service personnel appointed by the Superintendent of Denali National Park reviews applications from professional artists annually. Selection is made on the basis of required entry materials, vision, new and innovative ways of responding to the park, and recognized accomplishment as demonstrated in those materials.
Calendar and Deadlines

Bookmark Project 2010: Amulet
Deadline: October 4, 2010 (RECEIVE)
Bookmark Project 2010: Amulet
Koffler Gallery
Presented with the 34th Annual Toronto Jewish Book Fair
October 23 to 31, 2010
Guest Curator: Anisia Avram
For the ninth consecutive year, the Koffler Gallery presents The Bookmark Project, an intervention of artist-designed bookmarks concurrent with the annual Toronto Jewish Book Fair organized by the Koffler Centre of the Arts. Unique bookmarks and multiples created by practicing artists and visual art students will be inserted clandestinely into the thousands of books for sale at the 34th Annual Book Fair. The bookmarks will also be presented in an online exhibition at www.kofflerarts.org.
This year's theme, Amulet, considers the role of the bookmark as a talisman throughout the adventure of reading. The book, an intricate construction of text and ideas, is designed to capture and bring the reader into another world – a world through which only the bookmark can provide safe passage.
Anisia Avram is a graduate student at York University, concurrently pursuing a Curatorial Studies in Visual Culture Diploma and an Arts and Media Administration Graduate Diploma. She also has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors from York University, with a dual specialization in Print Media and Photography. As the past Director/Curator of the Samuel J. Zacks Gallery, Avram has organized many student exhibitions at York University. She is also a founder and board member of the InPrint Collective in Toronto.
Submission Requirements
Bookmarks should be functional and not damage or scratch the books on display. Artists are requested to submit one original bookmark for the public intervention that will not be returned. Artists whose bookmarks are selected for this project will receive a nominal artist fee, the amount of which is dependent on the number of participating artists. Fees will be issued by mail within 30 days of the close of the project.

Resident artists receive studio space, exhibition opportunities and teaching experience, while they work to launch their careers as professional artists.
Financial Support
While there is no monthly stipend offered through our residency program, residents have the opportunity to teach community adult and children’s classes for pay. In addition, residents have the opportunity to contract with Doane College-Lincoln to teach classes they offer at the LUX Center in printmaking, ceramics, painting and metal arts.

These are outlined in detail in the contract.

week.
Residents are required to teach one class of kid’s art week per session offered at the LUX Center unpaid.
Residents are urged to teach children’s and adult classes for pay.
Artists are expected to develop a body of work by maintaining consistent studio hours, give at least one informal public slide presentation about their work, and leave a piece of work made during the residency as a donation to the LUX Center. The donation will be selected by the artist and the Executive Director and/or Exhibition Director.
Selection Process
Residents are selected by a panel consisting of the Executive Director, Education Director, Exhibition Director, and other invited jurors. Residency periods are arranged by staff according to position openings. The typical residency term is one year, but may range from three months to two years.
